Creating memories that will be cherished for a lifetime

Every wedding is unique, having a very special place in our hearts. We love couples in love, we love couples who believe in what we see and how we see it, We are lovers of the authentic, candid moments, and images that represent that. Forget the traditional poses and anything cliché. Our goal is to capture the raw, the messy, the genuine emotion, tears and belly laughs, and everything in between. 

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Vando, based in the beautiful Algarve region of Portugal, where I draw inspiration for my passion for cinematography and photography. At Vintage Studios, the focus is on creating timeless images that tell meaningful stories. The name reflects a deep appreciation for the classic and enduring, with a commitment to crafting work that stands the test of time. I believe life's beauty is often found in the small, fleeting moments, and my goal is to capture these details, transforming them into visual stories that resonate with beauty and meaning.

WE WOULD LOVE TO

KNOW YOU

It all starts with a great story

We take great care to ensure that our work reflects the unique personality and style of each couple. Our approach is influenced by a variety of styles, including cinematic, artistic, reportage, and editorial. However, our primary focus is always on you and your story.

Testimonials.

  • "Vando was brilliant. He made our wedding day perfect and was super engaged with us and friendly. He is such a great person and captured some brilliant shots of us and our guests. If I could rate him 11/10, I would. It wasn’t just the photos that were brilliant; he got to know us as people!"

    Jessica & Ron

  • "Wow!! We can’t thank Vando enough, honestly. From the minute he arrived on the day, he put us all at ease and made everything so much fun! Our wedding photos are nothing short of perfect, and we are so grateful to have had Vando as part of our big day! We couldn’t recommend him enough."

    Jodie & Paul

  • "Thank you SO much for capturing our day so perfectly - we love it. You did it so beautifully and very naturally, which is exactly what we asked for. All of our friends and family have commented on how easygoing you are. We have watched the gallery numerous times and still get chills. It's so nice to be able to watch the day play out and see that you captured things we didn't get to see ourselves. Thank you again!"

FAQ´S

  • Sure, I love to visit and get to know new places.

  • If it’s just photography or just video, I usually work alone. If it’s a package that includes both services, I usually do the photography and count on our video team for the shooting.
    However, if you wish to have the option of a 2nd photographer or 2nd videographer, you can always add as an extra, as stipulated in our investment section.

  • The work will be delivered via the online gallery and/or flash drive.

  • We like our photos and films to be as natural as possible in order to capture the essence of the people and the wedding. So we avoid posing our couples as much as possible, but we can always give small pointers and directions at certain moments so that the photos come out as good as possible. Our approach is light and relaxed and we want everyone to feel at ease in front of our lens.

  • Before the booking it’s very important for me that we meet and have a nice chat about your day where we discuss ideas and see if we agree on the concept. It’s very important that you get to know my work and find out if we’ll be a “match”. This being said, Our payments are made 3 times: 25% at the time of booking, 50% until one month before the wedding, and the remaining
    25% when the final work is ready for delivery.

  • All our packages include 10 hours of coverage and we believe that in this time we can capture the essence of your wedding day. It's all a matter of deciding what is important to record and planning it. If you need us for longer than the hours that are included in your pack, we can always add extra hours.

  • The photo gallery will be delivered within 3 months after the wedding.

  • During the summer with a higher flow of weddings the edits tend to be a little slower, however we try to compensate as the year ends. So, the delivery time for a wedding at the beginning of the season will not be the same for one that happens at the end.we aim to get the first edit to you within 3-5 months. This is an estimation, in our busiest periods it can potentially take up to 6 months. We try the hardest to get your wedding completed asap, but not compensating the quality of the final product. We don’t rush the editing as we want to get the best out the footage, so we ask that our couples remain patient and we will keep you updated on the process.

  • No. Our photos are delivered after being selected, one by one, and then edited where we make some corrections, like applying our color or B&W presets, exposure, shadows, temperature and composition. And are these images that convey our work and represent us.

  • All services requested apart from those contracted in the pack are considered extra, and are therefore included in our investment section.

  • We ask you to trust us to make the best choice taking into account the selection of images and also for copyright issues. However, we’ll always take into consideration your musical taste and we'll pay special attention to the music that you used in the most important moments of your day.

  • Actually, this is a little relative. Usually they have an average length mentioned in the chosen pack, but, if we think it's relevant for the video, it can translate into more or less time.

  • We may use some photos or movies for self-promotion on our website and social media. Please discuss this with us first if you don’t agree.

  • The drone service to capture moments of the wedding has an extra cost that also comes in our investment section. For example: the entrance and exit of the bride and groom, a moment at the cocktail party, etc.

    However, I may use the drone to capture images of the locations or contextualize the films, which are at my discretion and will not be counted as an extra.

  • Travel expenses in the Algarve region are included, however, for longer distances or in case we have to start filming very early, we may have to add the cost of an accommodation.
    If the wedding is outside Portugal, travel and accommodation costs will be added to the budget.
